My mother moved into Bella Terra. So far so good. My mom seems to like it and she said the food is pretty good and the facilities are nice. Her apartment is very nice, it's bright, clean, the appliances were pretty new and the refrigerator is actually brand new. Everything was fine. They had activities like a Jazz Night, bingo, trips into town, and physical activities in the swimming pool. They also have a library and a gym there.

My grandmother is at home now with Right at Home. So far, we have been very pleased with the services we have received. The aides are good, but the staff is not so good. There always seems to be a lack of communication. I would talk to them and tell them what we need and what the hours are, but it seems like internally they don't have very good communication between each other. Right at Home was one of the first ones that were available. Since it was a time-sensitive situation, we went with them and they were able to assist with the hours and what we need. They help my grandmother with her ADLs, with showering, and help her with making meals. They don’t administer the medication but give medication reminders. They're pretty decent.

My mother is in Bella Terra. It's very nice and the staff is wonderful. She has felt very right at home. She's very picky, but she said the food is very good. The cleaning staff is wonderful and the people are friendly. The place is very clean. I'm very happy with her being there. She has a friend coming there because she told her about it. She went to visit and she likes it so much. They were very good with us too, working with the rates for the rooms and everything. They have bingo, movie nights, they take you shopping, they do luncheon trips, they go to Atlantic City once a month, they have an indoor swimming pool, they do chair aerobics, and they have physical therapy on-site. She has a beautiful big apartment, much bigger than other places that we looked at. You call maintenance and they come right out. They're very good. The salesperson, the people in the restaurant, the concierge at the front desk, everyone is great. Their value is excellent. It's a great community, very caring, and very kind. There's not a lot of people there and it's very homey. She could scoot down the hall in her wheelchair.

On a scale of 1-5 I give Atlantic Coast a 5! Clean place, everyone was very friendly. Would recommend to anyone.

Bella Terra was very nice. I liked that the independent and assisted living were connected by a corridor, so you could go from one place to another without having to go in and out of the building. I liked that they have a lot of amenities like a heated pool, and they were having a concert while I was there. They had a kitchen set up for a cooking class, and they have art. There were lots of people walking around and they all seemed pretty happy. The dining area was nice. The lady who gave us the tour was very nice and informative, and the staff was always very friendly. I had a very good experience all the way around. The place also seemed very clean to me.
